The K-dramas Climax and Mad Concrete Dreams will be available on Rakuten Viki in North and South America, Europe and Oceania.

Climax, starring Ju Ji Hoon and Ha Ji Won, is a Viki Original premiering March 16. The series follows prosecutor Bang Tae Seop as he jumps headfirst into a power struggle to reach the top of South Korea’s elite.
